- Like all of the Spy's secondary weapons except the Revolver and the Enforcer, the Spy does not actually put any bullets into the cylinder while reloading.
Trivia
- The actual Big Kill is about twice as large in the original comic books, often with the barrel bending under its own weight.
- The name "Big Kill" was first used in an early drawing by Sam & Max creator Template:W. However, the gun was not directly referred to as the Big Kill within the series until over twenty years later in the third episode of The Devil's Playhouse, "They Stole Max's Brain!", where it is listed in the notebook.
- Sam describes the Big Kill as "my second best and third most dangerous friend".
- The weapon resembles a combination between a Template:W, a highly popular and well-recognized weapon by being the weapon of choice of Template:W, and a Template:W, an iconic weapon from Template:W films.
- Although the Big Kill uses the Revolver's stats, the model itself is actually based on the animation skeleton of the Ambassador.
